Trump rewriting the history of the January 6th insurrection

Trump DOJ scrubs entire Jan. 6 Capitol riot database from the web

The removal of the content comes just days after President Donald Trump pardoned anyone for “offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.”

Under the Biden administration, the web hub for the Washington, D.C. District Attorney’s Office housed a repository of more than 1,200 Capitol breach cases, which included PDFs of the case filings for each defendant. The office also periodically released data on new arrests and case resolutions, and information about how to provide tips to the FBI. 

As of Tuesday afternoon, this content was removed. The URL for the case database now leads to a “Page not found” placeholder.

And here are some easier-to-digest PBS links about what happened on January 6th, per the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, which these days is hosted at least at Committee member Rep. Bennie Thompson's house.gov page.
